First Reads #6 & Indie Author #3

Jasmine Aherne

  'Uprooted' - 4/5 stars for this first read, I find that the main character (heroine) has competition in the package of a 12 year old girl.  I feel that this story is more centered around the little girl and her father being uprooted and not the relationship between father and heroine. I found this to be more of a feel good than a romance.

Uprooted by Jasmine Aherne . . . Landscape designer Marianne Dawson thinks she's hit her head pretty hard when she wakes up in hospital to the handsome face of Dr. Noah Campbell. They hit it off, but the emergency ward is too busy to get friendly. Mari's delighted then, when Noah turns out to be the blind date she agreed to as a favor for a friend.

Noah finds himself falling for Mari's sharp wit and ready smile, but his life's complicated enough as it is - he's just found out he has a twelve-year-old daughter, and he needs serious help becoming a father. With Mari's help, however, the sulky girl blooms, and they start to form a family. 

But Mari's struggling with her own internal demons, and what will she do when a difficult choice threatens everything she and Noah have built together?
